Did you eat pistachio today?

Pistachio has a very interesting name in China, which means a nut that makes people happy. Why does it make people happy? The first is the long growth cycle of pistachios. Pistachio trees will only grow fruit every other year, which means that we can eat pistachios this year, but may not be there in the second year, and we have to wait until the third year. Secondly, from the appearance, the pistachio has an opening, like a smile, we can see the kernel of the pistachio from the opening.

Pistachio contains a lot of anthocyanin, which has better antioxidant effect. It can be said that it is a natural antioxidant substance. There are also a lot of lutein in the pistachio, which can resist oxidation and can also protect the retina. Office workers can eat more every day.

Pistachio is rich in vitamin B6, copper, and manganese. It is also an excellent source of protein, dietary fiber and beneficial fats. Among all nut snacks, pistachio has the lowest fat content and calories. A handful of shelled pistachios (about 30 pieces) has only 100 calories, which is the same as 14 pieces almonds or 11 pieces cashews. The protein rich in pistachio will also make you feel fuller.

Eating 28 grams of pistachios every day not only does not have to worry about getting fat, but also helps to control weight. This is because the feeling of fullness takes 20 minutes usually. Eating pistachio can extend the consumption time by peeling the shell and making people feel full and satisfied. Thereby helping to reduce food intake and control weight.
